I was very surprised by how well the extra large fit me. I'm 6'8" and 240 pounds, so finding clothes that fit, especially when bought online, is difficult. The jacket is also comfortable, with the lining keeping it from feeling like wearing a rubber suit. The material is fairly quiet.

Just received my OR Revel jacket and it looks ok, fits nicely and I don't mind the higher pockets as I think they will be easy to access with a daypack on. I will Re post a review after I take it to Nepal for a stroll in March.

During a test ride wearing the jacket while biking in a strong rain, I stayed completely dry. Even better, the jacket is breathable enough that even when working hard up steep hills, I didn't feel hot or sticky inside it.

I'd highly recommend this as an inexpensive waterproof shell for any high output activity. I just purchased the matching OR Revel pants, too, and I'm looking forward to the next rainstorm if they perform as well as the jacket does.

I purchased this rain jacket for my husband and the day after it arrived we had a huge downpour. This jacket totally came through. It looks great and it really keeps the rain out while being comfortable and stylish. Great jacket!!

Nice jacket, lightweight and easily packed, but the fabric is thin. It's nice and soft, but I wish it were a bit more substantial. A great jacket to pack on a hike. I had a chance to test in heavy rains, it it does a good job keeping you dry.

I am a jacket addict. There, I've said it. I blame it on growing up in the Northwest. For me, jackets are to the northwest, as flip-flops are to the southwest. I've lived in both areas and I mean that in the best possible way.

Anyway, I have never been disappointed by an OR product and I have several jackets, pants, beanies, gloves, gaiters, etc. from them. This is a light-weight yet flexible shell. I've put it through its paces, most notably while doing about 6-hours of outdoor labor during a sustained and absolute torrential downpour in Hawaii... it was probably 70 out, humidity through the roof, and I was working hard... yet this jacket kept me dry AND as comfortable as I could possibly expect. Highly recommended. Pertex Sheild is no substitute for a GoreTex or eVent shell for technical needs, but for day-to-day and even slightly more extreme needs, it holds its own.
